That wholly depends on the definition you employ. I clearly remember my economics professor explaining that a company has a monopoly when it serves like 60% of the market or more (I forgot the exact percentage) - how a company uses that monopoly is irrelevant.
A monopoly does not imply malicious intent or abuse. It might, but it doesn't have to.
